Wither
Written and performed by Will Gell and Joanna Lero
This song was a late addition to the Apogee album which is out now at http://www.willgell.com more...and also http://cdbaby.com/cd/willgell in CD and MP3.
Also MP3 single versions are available to download for this song, God of Night and Fly To Be via Paypal from my site. If you do not have Paypal and would like a copy of the album or the singles please contact me.
After doing Fly To Be with Joanna I really wanted a third track with vocals for the album as two didn’t seem enough. So I wrote the backing track to this song and sent it to Joanna to see what she thought. It was very different to God of Night and Fly To Be and a much more conventional sort of rock song. Despite being incredibly busy with her studies Joanna wrote and performed these wonderful lyrics and once again amazed me with her voice and her ability as a song writer. Although she was not keen to speak her native Polish in the middle part of the song I encouraged her to do so and I’m glad I did as I think this part sounds fabulous. Even though Joanna hates it! Ha! Ha! 8^)
I intended the video to be a simple one but actually this video has been the most complicated and difficult video to edit I have ever made. But I enjoyed making it a lot none the less.
As the album is now done this will probably be the last collaboration with Joanna for a while. Although there is a fourth track on the album that features her voice. SO BUY IT!! 8^) I am sure and certainly hope that we will do something again in the future sometime.
Very special thanks to Joanna Lero once again for her co-operation, patience, creativity and sheer raw talent!

Lyrics
never oh never again
you won't follow me to see me turning back
I would wither under piercing sun of yours
but the moon came and opened my eyes
it's your time now
to take a bow
people mirror visions that you force
chosen well, you know they want the same
phoney will so answer hides the truth
oh come on snake you know it is you
look at yourself in their shattered frame
saying things you've said to me back then
fix it yourself as the pieces break
only days will pass then they fall again
never oh never again
little words can scratch at my door
you could win with a little girl
but now I feel like a 10 feet tall
lustra pekaja?
lepiej spusc wzrok
spójrz tam
to twe wizje na podlodze?
zagnij kolana by je podniesc
uklon sie
jak kiedys ja
bend your knees like you bend mine
bend your knees like you bend mine
it’s your time
to take a
look at yourself in their shattered frame
saying things you've said to me back then
fix it yourself as the pieces break
only days will pass then they fall again
never take it away
never never again
never never again
never never again
never gonna take it away
never take it away
never gonna take it away
never never again less

Fly To Be.
Written and performed by Will Gell and Joanna Lero.
This song features on my CD now available at http://www.willgell.com as well as more...a MP3 single version. It began life as an odd little guitar solo I was playing around with when I started to think that Joanna would be able to sing to it. I sent her a recording of the solo and she wrote, recorded and performed an astounding vocal. I then asked her to add backing vocals, which she had never done before, and soon the piece took on a whole new feel and I arranged it with the addition of bass guitar and synthesisers on top of the original guitar.
As this was meant to be a quirky piece for my CD there wasn't originally an intention to make a video but with the imagery Joanna's lyrics created it was too hard to resist. We both agreed that a graveyard setting was a must for this video so Joanna took her friend to a graveyard in her hometown Poznan, Poland and shot the outdoor scenes and later filmed the vocal parts separately.
I then spent the best part of three days editing this video together. I'm hardly in it at all!! 8^)
It's a very beautiful and sad song and one which I am very proud to have been part of creating.
Thanks to Asia for being Director on location in the graveyard! 8^)
Very special thanks once more to Joanna Lero for her creativity, patience, co-operation and enthusiasm for this project.

Lyrics.
now I found my fame
now I am like you
and I'd fly to be the one
I've been growing for far too long
I am taking them
then I fall
only then can I feel your soul
and I'd fly to be
fly to be there
going downwards still I fly in heart away
hate the clouds that swoon so fast
yet I yearn to swim with them
all your words will be forgotten
they will fade but pain will tear
so I'll lay on the ground
feel the earth
wish I saw some real moments there
so I'd fly to the days
cope with breath we'd take
still hear the noise of your fall
last fall, alone
now in silence I will follow your way
now I'm growing with some other flowers
now in silence I have decided to fall with you
and I'd fly to be
fly to be the one
but I grow on your tomb
pulling regrets away less

A little musical nonsense! I haven't played mandolin and bodhran for many years so this was fun. Also making their first appearances here are my new Yamaha more...BB614 bass and Schecter Tempest Extreme electric guitar. Also making a rare appearance is my old Takeharu WT-100 folk guitar which was my first real guitar and the instrument I learned on when I was 15. Never having had a microphone I never used it to record with but now I can.

Finally! I have a decent microphone and can record my acoustic guitars with half decent audio! This is the first in what might be a wee series of guitar more...solos I have written as I experiment with my mic and mixer. I apologise for the dodgy playing in places. less

My first video of 2008! And my first piece of music recorded in my newly redecorated studio in my new home! Which is actually my old home where I was more...born and raised! In fact this room I have as my studio was once my old bedroom where I once spent many hours learning to play the guitar in my teenage years. 8^) I took some time out from DIY chores to record and video this today. Much more music to come in the near future! MP3 and sheet music available from www.lemkuiper.com as usual. less

03:39
God of Night written by Lem and karenWow. Instruments by Lem and vocals by karenWow
This is the second time I have collaborated with karenWow (Joanna). more...The first time was a simple jam along to her "The Tower" song. I sent her a demo of a simple three chord idea in Aminor that I thought would suit her style and asked her if she could come up with some sort of vocal. She surpassed my expectations with this wonderful vocal and lyrics and I was able then to build on this to produce this song. She kindly also provided me with some video footage to enable me to create this video for the song.
Very special thanks to Joanna for her contribution, patience and co-operation in making this song and video.

Lyrics.
I am an actress on my mind's stage
I see the visions of what reality is to me
you so want to come
to play the main role
you call this life
I tell you “you're blind”
I'm the queen of me
you're not the king of us
not even one of us
Your life's so uninviting
get a new one it's so exciting
Watch your mistakes close
Watch the perjury of mind
I normally stand mind-walking on falling lines
Lines covered night
And I am god of night
Telling you your lies
Your life's so uninviting
get a new one it's so exciting
Oh how lonely you're without them
Now it's the time
To see what you were hiding
Take some notes
You will find some new about you
Quit the words
You still repeat the false wills
Of your fake empire
watch your mistakes close
And I am god of night
I am god of night
I am god of night less

Video for my latest composition. I wrote this a couple of weeks ago as a guitar solo but I've been ill this past week so did nothing with it. I recorded more...it yesterday by exporting a MIDI file of the guitar solo arrangement and assigning a softsynth to it in Sonar before layering the three guitar parts over that.
